Manual Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview General FLM-1 is a full duplex time division asynchronous multiplexer enabling up to twelve async terminals to be multiplexed onto a single channel. FLM-1 is intended for use in manufacturing facilities, building complexes, campuses and other similar point-to-point and ring applications. Versions One of the following media options for the main channel interface is available with the unit: • Electrical option (FLM-1/4W): 4-wire for transmission over two twisted pairs (terminal block or RJ-45 connector) • Optical option (FLM-1/DF): Dual fiber for transmission over dual fiber-optic cable. Secondary channels are represented by six DB-25 connectors or 12 RJ-45 connectors. For detailed information about main and secondary channel options see Section 1-4, “Technical Specifications” and Connecting the Interfaces in Section 2-5. Applications Point-to-Point Application FLM-1 is used mainly for point-to-point configurations where distances of up to several kilometers are involved. Figure 1-1 shows a typical application where a cluster of terminals is connected to a host computer through a single link. Maximum data rate on each FLM-1 subchannel is 19.2 kbps for the 4-wire version and 38.4 kbps for the dual-fiber version, with 12.5% distortion when working with 6 data channels and 25% distortion when working with 12 data channels or 6 data + 6 control channels. 16/01/01 11:12 AM Overview 1-1 FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Chapter 1 - Introduction Figure 1-1 Typical Point-to-Point Application Ring Application For installations involving clusters of terminals distributed in several locations, FLM-1 units may be installed in a ring-type configuration, as shown in Figure 1-2. 4 TERM T 1 2-WIRE FLM-1 HOST 12 1 R 4 FLM-1 R T 2-WIRE 2-WIRE T 4 TERM 4 TERM R 9 12 FLM-1 2-WIRE FLM-1 5 8 R T Figure 1-2 Typical Ring Installation Note 1-2 Overview In this application, the unconnected channels at each site must be bypassed by shorting Pins 2 and 3 of the relevant subchannel connector. 16/01/01 11:12 AM FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Chapter 1 - Introduction Table 1-1 shows distortion per node and maximum number of nodes/sites allowed for different data rates on each subchannel, for the 4-wire and the dual-fiber versions.

Figure 1-3 FLM-1 3D View 16/01/01 11:12 AM Physical Description 1-3 FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Chapter 1 - Introduction Front Panel The front panel provides control over the operation of the unit. The LEDs provide real-time indications related to the operation and status of the unit. Two push-button switches allow test loopbacks for the FLM-1 diagnostics. For details, see Chapter 3, “Operation” and Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting and Diagnostics”. Rear Panel The rear panel of the unit allows access to interface and power connections. For details, see Chapter 2, “Installation”. 1.3 Functional Description FLM-1 can operate in two operation modes: set to 6 or 12 channels, which is controlled by a user-selectable strap. When the unit is set for six channels, each channel can be used to transmit full duplex data end-to-end. When the unit is set for twelve channels, each subchannel can be used for either data or control signal transmission, according to the specific application. For example: • Note In the case of DB-25 connectors version, this mode requires a channel doubler cable (see Section 2.4 for details). • Note All twelve channels can be used to transmit full duplex data end-to-end. Six channels can be used to transmit full duplex data and six can be used to transmit control signals end-to-end. This operation mode requires a channel doubler of another type. This channel double would be different for different types of subchannel connectors (DB-25 or RJ-45) and different types of control signal. For more information see Connecting the Interface in Section 2-5. Multiplexing is implemented by using an over-sampling technique. Each of the twelve channels is sampled at 78.6 kbps for the electrical (4-wire) option or at 157.2 kbps for the optical (fiber) option. Table 1-2 summarizes the FLM-1 performance with various options and modes of operation. Table 1-2 Performance in Various Modes of Operation 1-4 No. of Max Subchannels in Use Data Rate (kbps) 4 Wire Fiber 6 19.2 12.5 6.25 6 38.4 - 12.5 12 19.2 25.0 12.5 12 38.4 - 25.0 Functional Description Distortion (%) 16/01/01 11:12 AM FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Note Chapter 1 - Introduction 1. The distortion refers to the duty cycle and not to the voltage level. 2. Whenever possible (if the number of channels is less than or equal to 6) it is recommended to operate FLM-1 in the six-channel mode, which results in less distortion. 1.4 Technical Specifications Subchannels Transmission format Asynchronous Data rate Optical interface: up to 38.4 kbps Electrical interface: up to 19.2 kbps Main Channel 16/01/01 11:12 AM Distortion See Table 1-2 Interface RS-232/V.24 Number of subchannels Up to six or up to twelve, depending on the version and availability of a channel doubler (see Section 2.4) Connectors Six D-type 25-pin, female, or twelve RJ-45 Mode of operation Full-duplex Electrical Interface Transmission line 4-wire unconditioned telephone lines (two twisted pairs) Operating range Maximum of 1.6 km (1 mile) on 22 AWG cable Data rate 1.2288 Mbps Output format Balanced, transformer isolated, 6V peak-to-peak (on 100Ω) Input resistance 100Ω Connector Terminal block or RJ-45 Technical Specifications 1-5 FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Chapter 1 - Introduction Optical Interface Transmission line Double optical cable Operating range for 850 nm: up to 5 km (3.1 miles) for 1300 nm: up to 40 km (25 miles) with attenuation of of 0.5 dB/km with 9/125µ fiber optic cable Data rate 2.4576 Mbps Operating wavelength 850 nm or 1300 nm Optical output level Diagnostics Switches and Indicators 1-6 for 850 nm: -24 dBm min into 50/125 fiber -20 dBm min into 62.5/125 fiber for 1300 nm: -18 dBm min into 9/125 fiber Receiver sensitivity -40 dBm min Dynamic range 24 dB Connectors Standard SMA or ST connectors In compliance with ITU V.54 Local digital loopback Activated by the LLB push button Remote digital loopback Activated by the RLB push button POWER LED (Green) ON when the unit is powered TEST LED (Yellow) ON when the local or remote unit is performing a loopback LOCAL SYNC LOSS LED (Red) ON when synchronization is lost at the local unit REMOTE SYNC LOSS LED (Red) ON when synchronization is lost at the remote unit LLB Switch When pressed, the unit is performing local loopback RLB Switch When pressed, the unit is performing remote loopback Technical Specifications 16/01/01 11:12 AM FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Chapter 1 - Introduction Power 100/115/230 VAC (± 10%), 50-60 Hz, 7.5 VA Max Physical Height 4.4 cm / 1.72 in (1U) Width 33.8 cm / 13.30 in Depth 22.0 cm / 8.60 in Weight 1.6 kg / 3.50 lb Temperature Humidity 0-50°C / 32-122°F Up to 90%, non-condensing Environment 16/01/01 11:12 AM Technical Specifications 1-7 Chapter 1 - Introduction 1-8 Technical Specifications FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual 16/01/01 11:12 AM Chapter 2 Installation and Setup 2.1 Introduction This chapter provides instructions for mechanical and electrical installation of FLM-1.

At the remote unit, the transmit fiber must be connected to RX and the receive fiber to TX. Caution Connecting the Power 16/01/01 11:12 AM Do not overtighten the fiber-optic connectors. AC power is supplied to the FLM-1 through a 1.5 m (5 ft) cord terminated by a grounded 3-wire plug. The AC cord is fused at the rear panel AC power receptacle of the unit. A slow-blow fuse of 0.1A is required for 230 VAC operation, and a slow-blow 0.2A fuse for 115 VAC operation. Installation and Setup 2-7 Chapter 2 - Installation and Setup Warning FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Before connecting power to the unit, verify that the socket outlet is provided with a protective earth contact. If you are using an extension cord (power cable) make sure it is grounded as well. Interrupting the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the unit), or disconnecting the protective earth terminal can make this unit dangerous. Make sure that only fuses of the required rating, as marked on the rear panel, are used for replacement. Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuit the fuse holder. Always disconnect the mains cable before removing or replacing the fuse. Whenever it is likely that the fuse protection has been damaged, make the unit inoperative. To connect power to FLM-1, simply insert its power cord into the power socket. 2-8 Installation and Setup 16/01/01 11:12 AM Chapter 3 Operating Instructions 3.1 General This chapter covers: • A list of controls and indicators together with their functions. • An operating procedure covering power turn-on, operating instructions, and power turn-off. • Information on strapping. Before operating FLM-1, complete all the installation procedures described in Chapter 2. 3.2 Front Panel Indicators and Switches The FLM-1 front panel is shown in Figure 3-1.

Table 3-1 FLM-1 Indicators and Switches Identification No Name Type Function 1 POWER LED Indicator (green) Lights up when the unit is powered. 2 TEST LED Indicator (yellow) Lights up when either local or remote unit is performing a loopback test. 3 SYNC LOSS LOCAL LED Indicator (red) Lights up when synchronization is lost at the local unit. 4 SYNC LOSS REMOTE LED Indicator (red) Lights up when synchronization is lost at the remote unit. 5 LLB Push button When pressed (pushed in), the unit performs a local loopback. 6 RLB Push button When pressed (pushed in), the unit performs a remote loopback. Note Pressing LLB and RLB simultaneously has no effect; the unit just continues to operate normally. 3.3 Operating Instructions Power Turn-On To apply AC power to FLM-1, connect its power cord to an acceptable AC source. The POWER LED should light up. If the local and remote FLM-1 units are in operation and properly connected via the main channel, no other indicator should be ON. If it is not so, refer to Chapter 4 for troubleshooting information. Operation FLM-1 operates entirely unattended except when performing system tests. Power Turn-Off To turn off FLM-1, simply remove the AC power cord from the AC source. Operational Field If it becomes necessary to reconfigure FLM-1 for twelve-channel mode or six-channel mode operation, follow the appropriate setup procedure Strapping described in Section 2.4. Changes Access to the inside of the equipment is permitted only to authorized and qualified service personnel. Warning 3-2 Operating Instructions 09/01/01 4:29 PM Chapter 4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 4.1 Frequently Asked Question Question: How can I connect six pairs of DTEs for transferring Data and Control Signals (RTS to DCD) end-to-end? Answer: First set the jumper marked “SELECT 6 OR 12 CHANNELS” to the “12” position. Now FLM-1 passes 12 pairs of signals (TD and RD of channels 1 to 6 and secondary TD and RD of channels 7 to 12) end-to-end. All the other channel signals are local: they do not pass end-to-end, being transmitted between FLM-1 and the DTE (see Table B-2). To transfer the control signals end-to-end, you must make a special cable. If you have a model with DB-25 subchannel connectors, for exact wiring see Figure 2-10; if your model has RJ-45 subchannel connectors, see Figure 2-12. This way you are using channel 1 to pass the data signals end to-end, and channel 7 (secondary channel) to pass the RTS and DCD signals end-to-end. 4.2 Diagnostics Tests FLM-1 features ITU V.54 diagnostic capabilities for performing loopback tests. FLM-1 supports two types of loopback tests: a local loopback and remote loopback. Note 09/01/01 4:29 PM Before you start to perform any of the loopback tests, set to OFF (negative voltage) the following signals at the remote unit subchannels: - Received Data (Circuit 104) - Clear to Send (Circuit 106) - Receive Line Signal Detector (Circuit 109) Diagnostics Tests 4-1 Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Local Loopback FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual When FLM-1 performs a local loopback, the data from the local transmitter is looped back to the local receiver at the digital level, thus checking all local digital circuitry for proper operation. To activate the test, press the LLB push button located on the front panel. If the local unit is operating properly, the yellow TEST indicator should light up and all other indicators should be OFF. If the local and remote units are properly connected via the main channel, this test also checks the following: • Local transmitter analog interface • Remote analog section • Digital receiver section. In this case the yellow TEST indicator on the remote unit should also be lit up. Remote Loopback The remote loopback loops back data from the remote receiver to the remote transmitter, thus checking: • • • • All local digital circuitry Both local and remote analog interfaces Main channel link Remote digital receiver section. To activate the test, press the RLB push button on the front panel. If both local and remote units operate properly, the yellow TEST indicators should be lit at both units and all other indicators should be OFF. 4.3 Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting The symptoms and corresponding procedures listed in Table 4-1 will help you identify, isolate, and correct faults in accordance with the tools available. Warning 4-2 These service instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting 09/01/01 4:29 PM FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Table 4-1 Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting Symptom All front panel indicators are OFF Action 1. Check that power is supplied to the unit. 2. Check the fuse inside the AC receptacle on the rear panel and replace it with a new one. 3. Replace the unit. The fault is probably in the unit's power supply circuits. LOCAL SYNC LOSS LED is ON 1. Perform an LLB test as described in Section 4-1. The yellow TEST LED should light and LOCAL SYNC LOSS should go OFF. If this does not happen, replace the local unit. Otherwise proceed to step 2. 2. Perform an RLB test. The yellow TEST LED should light and LOCAL SYNC LOSS should go OFF. If this does not happen, replace the local unit. Otherwise proceed to step 3. 3. Perform steps 1 and 2 at the remote site. If the fault is still not located, replace both units one at a time. If the problem persists, the main channel link between the units is probably defective and should be checked. REMOTE SYNC LOSS LED is ON 4. Perform an LLB test at the remote unit. The yellow TEST LED should light and LOCAL SYNC LOSS should go OFF. If this does not happen, replace the remote unit. Otherwise proceed to step 2. 5. Perform an RLB test at the remote unit. The yellow TEST LED should light and LOCAL SYNC LOSS should go OFF. If this does not happen, replace the remote unit. Otherwise proceed to step 3. 6. Perform steps 1 and 2 at the local site. If the fault is still not located, replace both units one at a time. If the problem persists, the main channel link between the units is probably defective and should be checked. 09/01/01 4:29 PM Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting 4-3 Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 4-4 Fault Isolation and Troubleshooting FLM-1 Installation & Operation Manual 09/01/01 4:29 PM Appendix A Pin Assignment for Subchannels with DB-25 Connectors Table A-1 Pin Assignment for Subchannels with DB-25 Connectors V.24 RS-232 Pin Signal Description 101 AA 1 Protective Ground Chassis ground.
